Strange oral allergy?


PickyEmmy

Recommended Posts

brief intro, I’m female in my early 20s diagnosed Celiac and Gastroparesis (Gastroparesis was this year it’s been rough)


I’ve noticed lately if I eat cereal or have certain foods I get this long white vein like thing in my mouth I also get red blisters inside my lip. I took a Benadryl the other day that contained the red dye and mouth broke out on the inside I stopped taking it and it went away I take the dye free ones and have no issues so far.

 

today I ate lactose free milk with corn flakes and now my mouth is all blistered again and the white veins are in my cheeks.

 

i noticed the same thing with oats too. 
 

with eggs my lips get tingly. These “allergies” literally came out of nowhere. I dislike taking Benadryl but it relieves the itching I get from certain foods.

 

my diet is very limited due to Gastroparesis and Celiac disease not being able to eat full meals I wonder if these mouth sores are due to malnutrition. 
 

Doctors think I’m a little nutty when I mention these things to them they think I just don’t want to eat and prescribe me anti depressants.

im running out of options here.

I have corn and dairy allergies among some others, I do get the red sores (mine are a bit more like blood blisters) in my mouth. But yes keeping antihistamines around is daily life. Some stores around here have a liquid version that taste awful but works faster/better. Food allergies are very common in celiacs, common ones are dairy, soy, legumes (peanuts), nightshades (Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) garlic, onion, etc. You should also avoid oats as about 10% celiacs react to them the same, as a side note double check they are Gluten Free. As for you issues with eggs, the are often considered histamine liberators.
On a side note, mine have tone down over the years to not be as bad, but for a short while they got worse when ignored.

I did deal with gastroparesis for awhile and found easy to break down and digest foods to be best, in my case I would often blend stuff into eggs before cooking slowly and having to chew til swish able -_-.But seemed the main issues was easy to break down, and nothing that would float. I often found digestive enzymes helped, few other little things to promote digestion. Literally was like a list of quirks and maybes with how random it would be. It would flare up daily no matter what for weeks after a gluten exposure of any kind.

Trying a elimination diet might help to find foods that do not affect any of your issues.

Have you ever considered getting food allergy tests done to find the culprits, and then avoid them if possible? If you can't avoid them perhaps you could at least rotate your diet so that you don't eat them as often. I will assume that you are 100% gluten-free and that isn't causing you issues, but it never hurts to double check your diet to be sure.

What brand corn flakes did you use? Was it labelled "gluten free"? Some corn flakes have malted barely which is not gluten free. 

Oats are also a very problematic ingredient (in that some people react to all oats) and they are very likely to be cross contaminated, unless they have a gluten free label. 

An egg allergy sometimes may go along with a soy allergy.

Do you react to dairy? If so there are alternatives that you might be able to tolerate.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
